Begonia Maculata plant care is mostly making sure this plant gets enough lighting. This house plant desires 5 to 8 hours of high indirect lighting every single day. You should try to find a window that allows indirect lighting to be given to this UV hungry plant. You will be able to tell upon how large the leaves get on this plant from how much light it receives. The larger the leaves that grow on your Polka Dot Begonia the more sunlight it is receiving.
Another huge variable to caring for the Begonia Maculata plant is watering. This plant prefers to dry out in between watering. If you overwater the begonia plants the roots will start to rot in the plant will quickly start dying. Finding that mix of giving this plant adequate amounts of water while also not giving it to much is going to be the magic sauce for taking care of it.
The Polka Dot Begonia also loves to grow and hang on a trellis. When does plant grows the leaves and stem are somewhat heavy so I can use that extra structure to help hold the plan upright. In natural habitat the plant is used to crawling up trees and other like plants that hold their structure.
